ABSTRACT

A dermatofibroma of a patient with active psoriasis was evaluated dermatoscopically. Dermato-scopic examination of the lesion revealed dotted vessels with homogenous distribution through-out the lesion and brown dots and occasional hairpin-like vessels in the white scar-like center. The reported case is unique because of presentation of psoriasis and dermatofibroma simultaneously since both exhibit homogenous red dots dermatoscopically. In the dermatoscopic differential di-agnosis of pink lesions showing dotted vessels in a homogenous pattern dermatofibroma must be considered.
